02 August 2025 For your urgent IPCC exam query dated November 2014:

**Regarding SEBI’s minimum buyback percentage change from 25% to 15%:**

* The SEBI circular reducing the minimum buyback from the open market from **25% to 15%** was issued in **September 2014** (SEBI Circular No. SEBI/CFD/DIL/CG/ CIR/2014/75 dated 22 Sept 2014).
* This change **was effective and applicable** well before November 2014 exams.
* So, for your **November 2014 IPCC exam**, you should consider the revised **minimum buyback percentage as 15%** from the open market.

**Bottom line:**
Yes, the revised 15% minimum buyback rule is applicable for the November 2014 IPCC exam.
